Does your husband's visa allow you to work? You have to meet NMC overseas requirements which can take a while to go through and pass English exam and I think you may need a license from the Philippines also NMC Overseas

Specializes in Advanced Practice, surgery.

You are going to have to go through the NMC registration process and they will check your training hours to make sure they comply. It may be that they will ask you to complete a overseas nursing program, also even if you manage to get registered and have a working visa unless you have specialist skills such as senior level ICU or NICU I suspect you are going to struggle to gain employment.

The NHS employers are obliged to recruit UK then EU nurses before even considering international candidates.

Also if you are not registered as a nurse in your home country then I don't think you will meet the NMC criteria, additionally as a new grad, you are really not going to have much luck as you will be competing with UK newly qualifieds who will and should have priority with employment
